Some Paph flowers can take up to 2 weeks to reach their full potential!

Stephen, that was also in my thoughts, although the spelling here is Ambon? And I think, we are still a wee bit away from the described habitat of P. villosum to really feel at ease with the geography: Ambon - Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi versus Paphiopedilum villosum

I'll stick to my position, Rudolf, no matter what logic arguments, I'm presented with...just for once to taste how it feels not to be in the echo chamber with you! 😉🫠

Kudos for culture, Phred! Very lovely flowers, looking great in the award photos! 🥲

The name sounds like a pretty wild party of Berlusconi's....

No reason to be in doubt, Rudolf: you can't! Anthocyanin is anthocyanin - and your plant ain't fma. measuresianum. Stick with fma. albescens - and enjoy the beautiful flowers for what they are! 🙂

It is, indeed! 🙂

...the morrons of AOC!

By the black colouring of the (mainly lower part of the dorsal) that anitum seems to breed through with in hybridization... Wössner Black Wings vs Johanna Burkhardt is another example. You would have to be blind not to see this in Darlene's wonderful flowers - or be one of the morrons of the...

What a pretty sight, David - and the colour of that lip, simply to die for❣️

Wonderful, Stephen, just wonderful! 😍

Nice, Istvan! 🙂

Wonderful clone! 🥰

Gorgeous, David. Congrats with this very good acquisition! 🥰

I can't, but agree with you all... that was my first thought, too! 🙂

First time flowering of this plant, that I bought as P. villosum var. amboinense. I've never seen that variety described? And with Amboin being a city on Papua New Guinea (the only Amboin, at least, that I have succeeded in tracking down), I wonder, whether it isn't a bit out of sorts?NS: 8...
